ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

         As of January 1, 1990, the Company issued 149,400 Shares to Mr. Levis

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

         (a)     As of January 10, 1990, Mr. Levis beneficially owned 149,400
shares of Common Stock (51,838 of which Mr. Levis had a right to acquire on
February 1, 1990) which constituted 6.01% of
<PAGE>   5

                                       3

the 2,485,230 shares of Common Stock outstanding at January 2, 1990.

         Mr. Levis received 54,842 Shares on January 1, 1991 in exchange for
services rendered by him pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement with
the Company dated as of January 1, 1990. Mr. Levis did not pay any additional
consideration for said Shares. As of February 1, 1991, Mr. Levis was the
beneficial owner of 204,242 Shares which constituted 8.00% of the 2,567,860
Shares outstanding as of such date.

         On June 28, 1991 Mr. Levis purchased 50,000 shares of the Company's
10 1/2% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Series A, $1.00 par value (the
"Series A Preferred Stock") pursuant to the exercise of rights distributed by
the Company to the holders of its Common Stock.  Prior to the stock split
described below, each share of Series A Preferred Stock was convertible at the 
option of the holder at any time at a conversion price of $10 per share 
(equivalent to a ratio of one share of Common Stock for each share of Series A 
Preferred Stock) subject to adjustment under certain conditions. As of June 28,
1991, Mr. Levis owned 204,242 Shares (not including 6,351 Shares owned by Mr.

6,351 Shares received by his spouse) as part of a 2-for-1 stock split of the
Company's Common Stock.  As a result of the stock split, the conversion price of
the Series A Preferred Stock was adjusted to $5.00 per share (equivalent to a
ratio of two shares of Common Stock for each share of Series A Preferred
Stock).

         As of May 26, 1995, Mr. Levis owned 361,186 Shares or approximately
5.01% of the 7,204,708 Shares outstanding as of March 31, 1995.  This amount 
includes 12,702 Shares owned by Mr. Levis' wife.  In addition, if Mr. Levis 
were to convert all the shares of Series A Preferred Stock owned by him, he 
would own 461,186 Shares or approximately 6.31% of the then outstanding Shares.

         The inclusion of the 12,702 Shares owned by Mr. Levis' spouse in this
Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that Mr. Levis is the
beneficial owner of such Shares for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934.

         (b)     Except for the 12,702 Shares owned by Mr. Levis' spouse, Mr.

market pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 at a price of $13.75
